“I began to prepare for the office of the governor in 2007 after the general election. I was getting myself prepared, waiting for the opportunity to present itself, so, my level of preparedness met opportunity, then I waited for no one, rather I stroke, then God completed the rest.
“Our elders have tried their best; you can’t do more than your capacity, and that is natural. Our elders have really done well. It is now incumbent on us the young generation, to take the country from where it is today to the next level.”
